Basque Diaspora

The Basque Diaspora refers to the scattering of people of Basque heritage—originating from the Basque Country in Spain and France—around the world. Due to historical migration, economic opportunities, and political factors, many Basques relocated, establishing communities in countries like the United States, Latin America, and others. These communities maintain cultural traditions, language, and identity despite being far from their homeland. The diaspora plays a significant role in preserving Basque heritage globally while contributing to local societies through cultural, economic, and social ties.
